Water, Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Summer is here, and it’s the best time to refresh and detox. I’m excited to announce my upcoming Home & Body Detox Blueprint series on LinkedIn and Instagram Live! Interested? I will be covering the 4 key areas/ concepts that we need to address to get those nasty toxins out of our homes and bodies (and by the way, things have moved on significantly since juice diets were the way to detox). We will cover how to minimise pollutants in your Water, Air, Skincare, Food and Cooking equipment plus how to effectively detox toxins already in your body. Spoiler alert… this requires specific binders and protocols to help pull toxins out of your fat cells. Unfortunately, there’s a lot more to it than having a couple of saunas and you’re done! Join the list to be notified when the Live Webinars are happening and step into a rejuvenated version of you by the end of summer.
The First Concept: Water
Water, our basic need, is sadly becoming more and more polluted yet there is nothing more important for our health. Did you know that even a tiny 1% drop in hydration can impair focus and reduce brain cognition by 5%? A 2% decrease in brain hydration can lead to short-term memory loss and shrink your brain cells!
Mental symptoms of dehydration can include:
- Depression
- Afternoon fatigue
- Sleep issues
- Inability to focus
- Lack of mental clarity, also known as “brain fog”
Symptoms sound familiar? To tackle brain fog, we need to look at dehydration first and foremost. In light of recent scandals with UK water companies and the crap that they are putting in our drinking water, it’s more crucial than ever to filter what you’re consuming. While reverse osmosis filters out everything, including the bad stuff, it’s essential to add back some minerals to re-energise the water. I’m currently exploring ways to revive “dead” water—stay tuned!
For now, try adding nutrients with products like 7m, recommended by our friends at Aquatru. I currently use this filter with this probiotic liquid supplement and I’m loving it.
And yes, Summer means we want to be IN the water, too! But, unfortunately pollution has tainted even our natural swimming spots. It’s a complete scandal that Water companies have managed to get away with poisoning our waterways and seas for years ( and having the audacity to charge us!). Stay healthy this Summer by checking the Water Quality of your chosen swim locations through organisations like Surfers Against Sewage. To stay updated on the fight against Water contamination also check out the Extinction Rebellion campaign.
The new Labour government must uphold their pledge to nationalise water companies, in my opinion, otherwise we are in for some seriously troubling times. Nothing scares me more than not having access to water! For more on this topic, don’t forget to join our LinkedIn and Instagram Lives!

Healthy Holidays
I’m spreading my wings! If you follow my personal account on Instagram, you know how much I love slow travel and eco-hotels. I’ve recently qualified as an Independent Travel Agent to help you ( and me) book discounts on wellness-focused, sustainable travel. I have a lot of experience with designing and decorating Eco lets and Airbnbs (check out my flat in Broadstairs that’s currently for rent on Airbnb) but it’s exciting to be combining two of my great loves of Slow Travel and Eco Hotels in this hopeful new venture. Follow Wellness Wanderlust on Instagram if this kind of thing floats your boat.
